Lecturer?
editIf this person was a lecturer, where did he lecture? I am very unclear about his credentials. Where was he educated? Was he ever a professor anywhere? Stevenmitchell (talk) 02:01, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
There is more biographical information in SF Chronicle, maybe someone would like to update the article. CodeTheorist (talk) 09:58, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Serious problems with Chandler's urban data
editThe universal opinion of urban historians is that the city-size data in Chandler's books (esp. Four Thousand Year of Urban Growth) are not reliable, due to faulty historiographic research methods. Yet scholars who are not urban historians use these data as if they were reliable. I tried to get this across in a minor edit, but it does represent a problem in assessing the value of the work. Unfortunately no one has published a systematic evaluation of the city-size data.
